Lawnmowers

It's been a very long time since I've checked in with my blog. Life happens and diapers happen and taxi driving to and from school happens...and so on. But the nagging feeling of having something to write, having something to say, also happens. So, here I am again, hoping to get this little blog going again. It's kind of like pulling at the cord of an old lawn mower. Will it start? And, if it starts, will it keep going?

School has just wrapped up for the year, and in the past 6 days, we've celebrated Tommy's 5th birthday with his friends at Chuck E. Cheese, Father's Day, Julianne's Kindergarten graduation, Thomas' Pre-K graduation, my 8th wedding anniversary, Thomas' 5th birthday and my parents' 38th wedding anniversary. Whew. The last two days, we've laid low--literally. Luckily the kids have been up at 7:45am; a nice change from our usual 6:45 am wake-ups (okay, fine--when I oversleep on a school day, it's more like 7:30!).

The kids have grown so much since my last post! Some updated pictures of my crazy bunch:

Thomas, now age 5 (five!!)


Julianne, 6 and missing her two front teeth now


and James, who will be 2 this summer


and for good measure, here's one of me with the mister. We both look tired, but hey, maybe you would too with 3 kids age 6 and under.


So now, on with the posts! :)
